Democrats use Yazidi heroine as tool to bash Trump

House Democrats continue to highlight examples of immigrants barred from entering the U.S. because of President Trump’s controversial executive order temporarily banning travel from seven majority-Muslim countries, even as travel has resumed while federal courts determine the order’s constitutionality.

Democrats and some Republicans gathered Tuesday in the House Rayburn Building to honor Vian Dakhil, a Yazidi member of the Iraqi Parliament whose pleas for help in saving her people from slaughter by Islamic State in 2014 have made her the terrorist group’s “most wanted” woman.
